"THIS IS ONE QUINTET THAT IS SURE TO LEAVE YOU BREATHLESS."
- Maggie Malloy, Second Inversion
“THIS QUINTET PLAYS WITH AN EXTRAORDINARY SENSE OF ENSEMBLE.”
- Sidney Chen, NewMusicBox -------
Approaching the delta where contemporary classical music, experimental music, environmentalism, and humanism converge, the City of Tomorrow is a woodwind quintet with unusual ambition. Forging a new identity in the same way that Kronos Quartet did for strings, the City of Tomorrow commissions new works, seeks relevancy for older compositions from the 20th century, and continues to shatter expectations for a concert of wind chamber music.
